Welcome ex-Redditors!

I think Beehaw isn't on the good list here because the account that shared the meme is on Lemmy World which isn't federated with Beehaw.
So it's a lack of knowledge of the users that left it off not any nefarious intent.
But that's my 2 cents.
Beehaw is like the Elks Lodge of the Lemmyverse. From the outside they look exclusive, mysterious, and enticing. Inside, there's just a few drunk guys singing karaoke.
At least that's my assumption. They wouldn't let me in because I refused to write a paragraph about why I wanted to join an instance that I knew virtually nothing about. Even the Elks Lodge wasn't that picky.

Looks at the lemmy devs on GitHub
All them use lemmy.mllemmy.world in shambles
It's pretty insane that choosing the default instance is seen as being indicative of your politics
-
It's 2025, everyone is both doing genocide and is denying genocide all of the time. Unfortunately that word no longer has any meaning.

It does have a definition though and there is still power in that.

Yes everyone is aware of this power so are using the word as a propaganda tool to further their causes. And everyone is aware that the word is being used as a propaganda tool.
The scary part is that by watering down the meaning of the word, it's made actual genocide more likely. If everyone is constantly being accused of genocide all of the time then no one will know when an actual genocide is happening.

The only person watering down the word here is you?

It's way more fun to pretend hexbear and .ml are super dark and scary than to admit what they mostly actually are: leftist memes and shit posting.
Notice Beehaw's not on the "good" list anymore? Wonder why they're not on there...

As far as I understood at the time, Beehaw cut themselves off from just about everyone else in the fediverse. If they want to make that choice I respect their position but its sending the message they're not interested in interacting with most others. If someone tells you to go away and they don't want to talk to you, I'm not going to chase them and try and change their mind. I'm going to let them go do whatever they want to do and I'll do my own thing with most everyone else.

I will never understand how you would defend an instance that is not only deep in genocide denial and praise of authoritarian regimes.
But also one whose head admin (and main Lemmy dev unfortunately) is a transphobe
-
Same, looks like we are shady now.
-
I still get Beehaw posts on my instance too. They're nice people.

Ya know what, I just looked at their instance page for the first time and their community rules show that they appear to have their head on straight and are setting good policy. I'll have to try to get an account there and see what I've been missing.
-
To be honest, I don't pay a lot of attention other than to notice the '.ml' and the vast majority of the time, I don't notice any specific tanki-ness to people from there.
.ee on the other hand has been... (checks) yeah, all but one of my blocks in the last month.
-
And no. Lemmy is a itty bitty part of the world. Why would I think it’s a world-wide leftist conspiracy?
Oh when you said "No wonder the left is upset, their propaganda department is being shut down." over USAID being ransacked by fascists, I just assumed you thought the entire world was a leftist conspiracy.
